Not happening or it would already be in wide use.

Why is quarrying a problem? It's worked for millennia and you won't be doing the quarry work. Place order, truck arrives with supplies, mix as needed, lay bricks, fucking done.

Overthinking simple shit is an obstacle to success.

>Why is quarrying a problem?
Because it's destructive.

>It's worked for millennia
So has everything else mankind's done and look how well that's working out.

so this alternative material comes from where, exactly?

Hoooleeeey shit. That's fucking great.

Prolly not our guy, but fuck me if this idiot did not just end "unregulated" drone sports as we know it. Shit is going to be crazy locked down if dickheads like this guy keep pulling crap like that (and you know there's going to be plenty of dudes now attempting the same)

RIP hobby drones.

>>1226443
Should we also touch base on the farce that is global military? How am I to believe the military has future tech, and can deflect ICBM if they, radar and human eyes, don't see this hobby drone landing on the deck?

drones come 'within feet' of planes landing and taking off in scotland pretty much every week.
i wouldn't have a problem with drones except it seems every single person that has one is a retarded fuckwit. i guess you don't hear the stories about good drone users, either because there aren't any or because its not noteworthy as a completely useless hobby.

if thats the new carrier then its still going through trials to make sure its working properly, i don't think its properly ready yet.

>the problem:
it turns on only for a split second and then loses power. I can hear the speakers turn on too. coming off of the switch there is a wire to some lights that retains power, so I think the problem is somewhere in this circuit board in the middle

one of my theories is that a fuse might be broken or burnt out, so i might try replacing these, or checking the underside and seeing if any of the circuits are broken

I love thrift stores bruh
Actually went to Goodwill today and got two good shorts for six bucks
Also have gotten lots of complete board games from the 80s
Can't help with that tho lol sorry

Literally the entire point of a lock is to keep honest people honest and hopefully annoy a real burglar enough that he'll find something else that isn't locked. Give a trained man a set of picks and 10 minutes alone with literally any conventional lock and he'll have it open.

>>1225629
I've picked locks before, but I'm no expert. This isnt picks and feeling pins, none of that.
This is stick a fucking popsicle stick in it and turn bad.

Then put a different lock on it retard.

The purpose of reenacting is honor. There is no honor in complaining about the weight of a rifle your grandfathers carried for months or years.

Also, I'm guessing the barrel is filled. There is no easy way to retain appearance and lighten the rifle. It's time to man up, your faggot group isn't even carrying the weight on your back or head that soldiers carry.

>>1224715
The problem is that we're allowing 16 year olds now, which means they're a bit too small to carry them. Also, with complicated drills, the weight really gets annoying.

I don't have a problem with them. I mean, they're vintage '39-'44 receivers, with a lot of history and character behind them. I'm just plain looking at finding some new rifles, because that'd be easier.

Could you zip off the barrel after the action and replace with conduit?

Core out the butt stock and plug the ends?

If a gun smith reamed it out the barrel or made the alterations would be still be legal?

you can't use a flamethrower underwater, baka.

>>1222740
I think it'd be cool for a house only under like ten feet of water in the Florida keys. But, even at ten feet, if you had an open swamp in it, you'd get the bends if you only did 1 ascent.

Bench grinder. A belt sander is infinitely more versatile, doesn't need to be trued up to stay flat and square, and doesn't put a concave surface on everything.

>>1211551
They're useful for finish work if you put a buffing wheel on one side and a wire brush on the other. Great for cleaning up burrs and such if you're machining. I've never used the grinding wheels that came with the thing.

My biggest tool regrets would probably be 90% of the things I've purchased at Harbor Freight.

>>1211580
Oh yeah, and a Ryobi reciprocating saw that broke on first use. I also just fucking hate neon green tools.

I'm looking at you too, Rockwell.

it's called sandpaper, nigger. if you can find an electric sander, so much the better, otherwise wrap some dollar-store sandpaper around a piece of 2x4 and scrub away.

an easy alternative is adhesive shelving paper, available cheap in all kinds of colors and patterns. i found this marble one that made anything look very much like expensive italian marble.

>It is plywood with some weird sticker on it.

it's even cheaper than plywood. it's press-wood or particle board.

Go buy a new bump feeding one? They are only like $20, and yeah, I couldn't imagine having to turn it off to feed a string in manually every time.

>using anything but a fed trimmer line.

I'm not a fan of auto feed lines or bump feed lines. Prefer my dad's model which feeds from the handle when a lever is hit (easily with the hand on the handle.). I have an auto feed simply because it is the cheapest model at home depot and I only need to use it once a year.

>>1226076
yeah those are fucking garbage. the string lasts about 5 seconds and good fucking luck changing the string when the holes get packed full of shit. i ended up with 7 stitches fucking with one of those cock suckers

Are there others who do the same thing?
Are they completing the work faster than you?
If you answered yes to both, yes there's a trick/skill you're missing. Ask them.

>>1225529
would assembly grease be ov some help.

>The city let me keep it a whole 3 weeks

I hope they charged you to remove it too

>>1225127
Nope. Didn't even follow up to see if I had removed it after i tore it down either.

>>1225127

>Charged to clean up after yourself

Is this communism?

Couple sheets of varying grit sandpaper should do.

>>1224949
What if i dont have sandpaper?

Sorry, I should have made this clear that I hope to get this done tonight, and a store run is out of the question.

Yes they died overnight

Sunfish do well, I used to keep a tank of bluegills. I've heard pike, snake heads and bass can as well, but no experience.

>>1224830
yes, they started as tiny little babies that I caught in the creek and grew up into 6 inch long cool fish that hid under the cave rock except when it was feeding time.

And then the ice storm of the century hit and my power was off for 5 fucking days and well that was it for the fish.

sigh. two death and destruction posts. somebody post something happy.

actually, it might be against the law to keep regular fish in an aquarium.
